     abstract = "{Estimating global and multi-level Thermosphere Neutral Density (TND) is
        important for studying coupling processes within the upper
        atmosphere, and for applications like orbit prediction. Models
        are applied for predicting TND changes, however, their
        performance can be improved by accounting for the simplicity of
        model structure and the sampling limitations of model inputs. In
        this study, a simultaneous Calibration and Data Assimilation
        (C/DA) algorithm is applied to integrate freely available CHAMP,
        GRACE, and Swarm derived TND measurements into the NRLMSISE-00
        model. The improved model, called `C/DA-NRLMSISE-00', and its
        outputs fit to these measured TNDs, are used to produce global
        TND fields at arbitrary altitudes (with the same vertical
        coverage as the NRLMSISE-00). Seven periods, between 2003-2020
        that are associated with relatively high geomagnetic activity
        selected to investigate these fields, within which available
        models represent difficulties to provide reasonable TND
        estimates. Independent validations are performed with along-
        track TNDs that were not used within the C/DA framework, as well
        as with the outputs of other models such as the Jacchia-Bowman
        2008 and the High Accuracy Satellite Drag Model. The numerical
        results indicate an average 52\%, 50\%, 56\%, 25\%, 47\%, 54\%,
        and 63\% improvement in the Root Mean Squared Errors of the
        short term TND forecasts of C/DA-NRLMSISE00 compared to the
        along-track TND estimates of GRACE (2003, altitude 490 km),
        GRACE (2004, altitude 486 km), CHAMP (2008, altitude 343 km),
        GOCE (2010, altitude 270 km), Swarm-B (2015, altitude 520 km),
        Swarm-B (2017, altitude 514 km), and Swarm-B (2020, altitude 512
        km), respectively.}",
